Shoe Box Organization

You may not have as many shoes as this person, but you can still use this method to protect and organize your shoes. This method is especially great for those high shelves in a closet: shoe boxes not only fit easily on them, but the boxes are easy to get down.

What is this method? It is identifying the contents of a shoe box with a photograph of the shoes that are stored in the box. Be sure to photograph your shoes and boots on a neutral background and print the photograph on photo paper no bigger than 5 x 7. Tape or glue your photograph to the appropriate box and then organize the boxes.

You may want all high heels at one end of the shelf, and all flats at the other. You may further subdivide each category by color - starting with white at one end, and working your way through your colors until you get to black.

This allows you to keep dust off of your shoes and yet still see at a glance every shoe and boot that you own.
